The 33rd Annual Reading Marathon
Read and Dream with PBS Utah this November! We invite Utah children to read 600 min for the month, or 20 minutes a day to earn an Adventure Pass. No need to register! Simply download the reading log, snuggle up with a good book, and keep track of reading minutes.
At the end of the month, submit minutes on our online portal found on here to receive the Adventure Pass. This pass is filled with vouchers contributed by generous community partners for free or reduced pricing on individual and/or family visits to venues around Utah throughout 2026.
The Adventure Pass includes over 20 vouchers for Utah experiences including 1 Free child admission to the Hogle Zoo, 4 free passes to the Ogden Nature Center, 1 Free ferris wheel ride from Scheel's, 1 free admission to the Natural History Museum of Utah, and so much more!
We look forward to reading and dreaming with you!
